👥 New blog post on who is a Community Delegate & understanding their role in governance is now available! Decentralized governance empowers community members to actively participate in shaping the future of the network. However, they don’t always engage in every decision. From time constraints to a lack of expertise & other commitments, most don't make it to the "ballot box". This is where delegates bridge the gap between token holders and the decision-making process by enhancing efficiency, addressing the issue of low voter turnout & ensuring informed voting decisions.

🫡 Contract Captains. That’s what we’re calling projects who have labeled their smart contracts & are helping provide more data around on-chain activity on Moonbeam! As part of an ongoing effort to get more projects to label their smart contracts, teams should submit their contract info to Moonscan so that specific metrics can be extracted & made publicly available. By grouping contracts with a predetermined labeling structure, Moonscan can provide contract data by project. This data can then be used to fetch important on-chain metrics by Dapp: - Transactions - Total users - Active users - Addresses of contracts - Verified Contracts Learn more or see on-chain analytics via Web3Go: 📑 Labeling Structure Guidelines: https://web3go.gitbook.io/moonscan-smart-contract-label-for-projects/ 🔍 Web3Go Public Dashboard: https://app.web3go.xyz/#/MoonbeamPublicDashboard -
